Heating Help

There are several reasons why installing a stainless steel, flexible chimney liner is important. The primary reasons are to ensure the safety of your home and to maximize the efficiency of your heating appliance.

Chimney liners increase the safety of your home because they:

·         Reduce the amount of creosote buildup in the flue

·         Reduce the risk of chimney fire

·         Reduce the chance of carbon monoxide and other flue gases leaking into your home

·         Reduce the amount of condensation and water damage to your home

Chimney liners increase the efficiency of the heating appliance because they:

·         Optimize the size of the flue to induce an adequate draft

·         Use less fuel to run the heating appliance

·         Maintain optimal air flow within the chimney

·         Help burn a brighter fire while minimizing heat loss
